| The mediums are oil, watercolor and contour drawing, but this is a book about making good paintings, not learning a particular medium. The subject matter is broad, ranging from still lifes to figures and portraits, to landscapes. Again, the point is that if you can paint, you can paint anything! But you must never feel compelled to paint what is before you. You must feel free to paint not what you see, but what you want to see - the way you want it to look - and this book shows you how. The instructions are clear and simple, with numerous examples, excellent instructions, informative captions, and many useful assignments to help you develop your own style. Except for sections on drawing and values, the entire book is in color. Paperback, 144 pages.ISBN:823038793. WATSON-GUPTILL |
